Wikis

Michele Sherer

Practice the following skills using your wiki page:
- Type in your name (Heading 1), school (Heading 2), and the subjects that you teach (Heading 2).
- Change the font color of one of the words on the page.
- Now create a numerical list of ways that you might incorporate a wiki into your classroom in the current unit that you are teaching.
- Take a word in your numerical list and link it to a page on the Internet that relates to this term.
- Add an image that might represent what you are currently studying in your classroom.
- Take any Microsoft Word Document related to your unit and add it to the page.
- Now add a Google Map to your page relating to to what you have added to the page.
- If your school allows you to use YouTube, add a YouTube video that relates to what you are studying.
Go back to your listing of how you might use a wiki in your classroom. Change your list based upon the items that you now know how to do with a wiki.
